the book of aahku
were to sleep, the first time I sleep outside, I think I laid down on some cardboard, an covered up, I was near some other people that had already went to sleep under there blankets, so I saw them an moved to a safe distant, not to be too close to them, as I laid there I lessened to all kinds of sounds, I can hear them breath, I can hear cars go by, I can even hear someone stomach growl, also I can hear a lady pass by, I didn’t look I just listened, I can hear men talking an walking on the other side of the street, no I never wore a watch, but I know what time it is every morning, the birds wake up early, an start making noise, chirping, when crows leave there nest to go afar to eat, this is 1 have hour before daybreak, they don’t land on the ground until its light, , you can tell time by the animals an birds, just before dark you see the crows fly home in bunches, and they return the same way, cats come out like 12 midnight, until 4 am, dog hours are 9pm to 11, they go to sleep, an up at daylight, birds start chirping around 1 hour before daybreak, coons an possums come out around 12 midnight or 1 am until 1 hour before daybreak then they return.
some homeless people are just mean, spiteful, and some are very crazy, the cant get with the program, if you try to be nice to them , they snap at you , or snap, an fight you, some don’t want you near them, some of these people have a attitude problem, while new on the streets, after awhile, they become victims, or hurt, or both, these people are prone to complain every day, about every thing, nothing is right, also they talk about people, all day long, these people no one wants to be around, now the news media will put these people on the news, like every one is like that person on the streets Why Cant they stop eating out of garbage cans and just get a job, and get off the street? first of all to get a job, you have to have address, and references, and you have to be clean, you have to have bus fare or gas money, and 2 or 3 weeks of money to buy food to eat, and if you are hired , how are you going to eat, for 2 or 3 weeks until you get your first check, and were are you going to sleep, now most people say homeless people are lazy, this is very untrue, we want to work, , example , at my new job, all the employees , have been eating, 3 good meals a day, and have never missed a meal, and there bodies are full of life giving, nutrients, which they naturally, absorb in the body, all the vitamins they need, and are use to working , now im new on the job and I’m on time, (remember, for the last year i only eat one meal a day, -donated food, 2nd hand food, no nutrients, and i don’t eat at the same time either, and some times i don’t eat at all, my body is depleted of the life force to work hard, so my boss says go to work, and I work for 4 hours, until lunch, every one eats lunch except me, and I’m starving, and I’m getting week, very week, I need food real food(fuel) now I worked the whole day, 8 or 9 hours, as I leave the job, all the food lines are closed, gone, no more, I’m tired and week, and were am I going to sleep?? if I don’t have a car , and no bus fare, I have to find a place to sleep near the job, if I have a car I have to find a place to park, to go to sleep, now you know I don’t have gas. and i have to go to work in the morning because I want to better my self and get off the streets, so what do I do, what???? I have to find some fuel for 2 or 3 weeks , to build up my strength, and try to stay clean, and most of all i cant smell(stink) i have to net work the food places in the area of the job ,and go in the dumpsters, and look for fuel(inside people think this is the bottom of the pits, and you are the scum of the earth when they see you eating out of the garbage, and don’t want you around them, they just dont understand i have to do this, im getting sick, and I’m hungry, and i have i job, and on the week ends when I’m off, i have to bum around because i have no money and no were to go, now i did the 2 weeks and i get paid, what can i do with $250 or $300 dollars, rent a hotel room i don’t think so it cost too much, buy gas for my car, ??? the first thing every one does that made this journey, is go to the store and buy a lot of ready cooked meals, and just sit down and eat as much as we can, now eating real good food can make you sick, because you are not use to it, and you might get the runs,(bowels), and when you go to sleep on a full stomach, we tend to over sleep and late for work, most who begin this journey don’t make it, they only work 2 or 3 days, and quit. then people ask why dont you ask the boss for an advance in pay,, now days you cant get an advance, and if you tell your new boss you eat out of garbage cans, and you sleep in a car, or on the side walk, the boss will be scare you will steal something, and cant be trusted. this is why you have to keep your problems a secret . Why are so many kids on the streets? there are a lot of reasons, 1, kids go threw growing pains, 2- some kids are spoiled, 3-also we have the credit card kids always want it now, these are the most dangerouse,4, kids that are on pharmaceuticals meds, 5-unwanted kids,6 step kids, 7- females, an males, sexual abuse in the family, 8, kids on drugs,9 retarded kids, 10-deformed kids, and the last, strange kids - Are there smart homeless people on the streets? (A) yes, we are called many things, some are so smart i cant believe they are homeless, they just want to be left alone, the elite street people. some are doctors, nurses, teachers, physics, lawyers, professionals, geniuses, some reasons they are here gave up on a corrupted society, or lost there jobs from down sourcing, a death in the family, any many of reasons, wont sleep with the boss, got robbed, sick, mental illness, too many problems, too many bills, too many kids, job burnout, lost there vehicle, spouse, being bad, feel sorry for them self’s, on drugs or just playing the odds, example, lets say I’m working, and one paycheck from the streets, all I do is pay bills, and if i continue this ill never have any thing, this means I cant get sick, plus i have to work until i can collect social security, and I know that there will be no social security, when its time for me to collect, etc. homelessness is a state of mind, we have some were to sleep and go at any time. we adapted, we know how to live of the land, (the concrete jungle. we ask no one for anything most of the time. plus, most of us don’t want to go back to the system. now speaking of homeless ,people on the streets-2nd answer , these people are trying to get back to the system, looking for help, every were, even food, housing, food stamps, etc Are All homeless people bad? (A) Most homeless people are very friendly, except the drug addicts, only your friend if you have something they want, street people 90% are good people, and we really don’t want that much in this life time. Why work all you life and end up with nothing, if you get sick How long does it take to get of the street (A) in most cases it takes,1 to 7 years-some never leave, after trying for years to leave the streets some people give up, it takes about 2 years to get public housing, you have to get on a long list, and when you get your housing, most of the time , you have to live with some one, and use the same bathroom, the cost for public housing is 1/3 of your government check why do people eat out of dumpsters? (A) Street people depend on this, because, we know were the good food is, (aka fuel) some times we eat better than people with money, its a life line. homeless people use food stamps, also get in food lines every day to stay alive, they look for food at handout centers, food banks, street people look for fuel, to stay, strong-and healthy. so homeless people fall threw the cracks, there is no help for all homeless people, some food lines don’t have enough food, to feed ,the multitude-if you are in the back of the line-you don’t eat, so now what, dumpster time, Is there an underground network (information-for homeless people (A) yes-this network-is sometimes word of mouth and old school, years ago we called this (the grapevine) we know were to go for fuel, at any time, we know what to eat and what not to eat- these are some of the things we don’t eat. downer cows- cemetery fruit, top water, hard water, gelatin, we also now how to stop some diseases, we have our own cures, old school, an these cures are on the street, you people that live inside, cant have these cures , because the system cant make money on cures. i myself feel bad every time i read in the news paper that someone die of a disease , and we street people know how to stop the disease. we know that, doctors, politicians, lawyer, the medical community has failed you, they failed us long age. remember corruption breads corruption. Why don’t homeless people go to shelters? (A) FOR ONE most shelters are full all the time, they are probably scared, to sleep on the side walk, or they just don’t know were to go, most of the time the shelters are full , you have to sign up, and if some one don’t show up you can have there bed, now if you don’t get a bed, lay down around the front of the shelter, or on the side, and go to sleep. Remember you have people that stay in shelters for life Are all homeless people filthy? (A) no. the filthy one’s are mentally ill, and there is no room for them in the mental health hospital, why, budget cuts, and alcoholics, and most of the time they smell very bad, they really need help, but there is none, they fall thru the cracks too, now street people are pretty much clean, homeless people get pretty dirty sometimes. some of these mentally ill people smell so bad , if you smell them your brain hurts, now if a homeless woman, smells like this, this is a line of defense, no one i mean no one will rape her, or rob her , they cant get past the smell, or near the smell Are shelters really safe? (A) MOST OF THE time, but not all the time, the first danger is germs, flu, diseases, lice, crabs, flee, and bed bugs. you can catch from other people, like if it rains an every one gets wet, an enter the shelter, then you have a funny feeling, an the smell is sooo bad, WHEN A lot of strangers meet, in a situation, most of the time every one gets along , pretty much, then there are times, some individuals, are made at the world, they think they were given a bad break, some time people go to the shelters, drunk, under the influence, of drugs, or just mad , and ask to leave, and don’t return, the most problems is when you ask the person to leave, and the police are called, now this happens all the time around the country Do people really die on the street (A) yes . we see this all the time, some weather beaten, murdered, ALCOLICS, people that od, od means drug over dose, then some just give up on life, and lay down and die, but most of the time , these people that die are victims why? long, winters, and not enough food, nothing soft an warm to lay on, example some homeless people stay cold for months an months at a time, every day and every night, you are cold. this takes its toll on the human body. this is touchier Do homeless people have sex (A) some times-but as a rule no-THE MOST PROBLEMS WITH SEX there is no were to go- you cant have sex in a shelter, if you get caught , you’ll have to leave the shelter, the only people that really have sex on the streets are drug addicts, this is how the pay for there drugs, an live in a shelter, after you have been on the streets for awhile, you don’t think about sex, VD, AND SEXUAL DISEASES ARE NOT REALLY A PLOBLEM WITH STREET PEOPLE, WE DO HAVE SEX MUCH, THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE INSIDERS, THEY HAVE THE PROBLEMS, , OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE VD PROBLEMS, ARE STRAWBERRIES, (A STRAW BERRY IS A FEMALE THAT WILL DO ANY THING FOR CRACK OR HEROIN, THEY PASS DISEASES AROUND ALL THE TIME, THE INSIDERES HAVE SEX WITH THESE GIRLS AND TAKE THE DISEASES BACK HOME WITH THEM, now the new homeless, people have sex with drawls, like to masturbated the first chance they get, they are use to having sex every day or a few times a week, now i have seen this alot, some go in the bathrooms, and stay along time, we know what they are doing, i say a guy, almost kill a guy, he wont come out off the bathroom, and this guy, broke open the door and say, ???? the fight was on, (caught with his pants down) you cant fight like that) now the guy that got beat up, you don’t have to worry about him any more. now if they have a car or van, motor home, tent, yes they have sex , but not much When movie stars-give monies to charities-and shelters-where does the money Really goes? (A) the first thing, the money is not for the homeless, its for the charity-the homeless never see this money, MOST charities keep,90% of all donation, for personal gains, ITS A JOB, and FOR movie stars-its a tax right off-movie stars just make the people that run charities rich, WHEN MOVIE STARS DONATE THERE CLOTHS, EXAMPLE , 2 BAGS OF CLOTHS, WHEN YOU DONATE AN ITEM OR ITEMS, YOU GAT A FORM OR A STATEMENT ON WHATS THE WORTH, IF THEY TELL THE TRUTH ITS ONLY WORTH $200, THEY DONT TELL THE TRUTH, THEY MIGHT SAY ITS WORTH $12,000 , THIS IS DONE ALL THE TIME, they are not helping, at all,-but i must say there are a few movie stars that know the truth-and they know how to help- MOST MOVIE STARS ARE NIEVE TO THE REAL SIUATION. remember 9,11--all the charities kept 90% of $550 MILLION donated to the families, and congress stepped in and made, all the charities give all the donations to the victims families, IF THEY PROMISS NOT TO PRESS CHARGES AGAIST THE AIRLINES. did you know that the Ceo,s in each city- the salvation army, and good will, red cross-pay themselves- UP TO $1,500 a day-or more, ALSO HAVE OFF SHORE BANK ACCOUNTS, VILLAS, YACTCHS. PLANES, GO FIGURE What kind of cures are on the streets? (A) the FDA, don’t want any one to say cures, they have a problem with that, but a few of us know how to stop a few diseases, all we have old school remedies, Do all homeless people do drugs or drink (A) not really, the drugs and all the bad things that happen on the streets, the news media always look for the bad ones, I don’t think they, know we street people exist, we stay clean and out of trouble. WHEN A NEWS CASTER PLAYS THE PART OF A HOMELESS PERSON, THEY ARE ALWAYS LOKING DIRTY, AND LOOK LIKE A SUD HUMAN, BEGGING, AND WONDER WHY NO ONE HELPS, THE REASON IS THE ARE NOT IN THE POBLIC, AT ALL, THE DONT WALK TO WORK, THE DONT EAT AT LOCAL, EATERIES, THE DONT CATCH THE BUS EVERY, NOOW IF THERE WERE PART OF THIS , THEY WILL KNOW WHO TO GIVE MONEY TO , AND WHO NOT TO, AS PEOPLE DO THERE DAILY THING, ROUTINE THINGS, THEY SEE BEGGERS , YOU MIGHT SEE 30 IN ONE DAY, YEARS AGO YOULL SEE A FEW, NOW DAYS THEY ARE EVERY WERE, ITS SOO MANY NOW , IF YOU HELP ONE , YOU MISSED 5000, REGANNOMIC,S PLACED ALOT OF MENTALY ILL PEOPLE ON THE STREETS, NOW THE NUMBERS ARE SOOO HUGE, THEY CANT BE COUNTED Are there homeless pregnant ladies (A) yes. im going to do a special page for this , TO BE CONT, Are there homeless mentally ill people on the street (A) yes a lot Really how many people are on the streets-no one really knows, every time the government take a senses (count the people, IN THE USA) (A) they are wrong-MOST OF THE TIME-its twice as much as they say on the news-ok they might say its 40,000 homeless in this city, 5% UNEMPLOYMENT that’s not true-its LLIKE 80,000 , AND 40% UNEMPLOYMENT, DID YOU KNOW THAT THEY DONT HAVE A CLUE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE IN THE US, OUR BORDERS HAVE BEEN WIDE OPEN FOR YEARS, THIS IS MOSTLY POLITICS, AT WORK, THEYLL SAY ANY THING FOR A VOTE, OR TO GET RE-ELECTED When a homeless person get sick or mentally ill, why don’t they go to a hospital, or get help? (A) ok- the first thing you have to know is some people don’t know they are sick, , example suppose a homeless person is home sick depressed and have hunger pains at the same time (hunger pains is when you need food , and your stomach is hurting and you have cramps) now are you really sick or do you think you are sick. 2 most people don’t know they are crazy, example you talk to your self, at a low tone, or you holler at your self, which one of you are crazy?? or you might do strange things, and no one says any thing, so you keep on doing strange things, but as time go bye you will remember the strange things you have done, and wonder why you did them, and most people might say, I don’t know what was wrong with me, or they just might laugh Are homeless people happy? (A) yes SOME ARE, THEY GET USE TO BEING ON THE STREETS AFTER AWHILE, NOW STREET PEOPLE DONT MIND BEING HOMELESS, one reason no bills, an no money problems, less responsibilities, or none, when bill collectors talk to people that owe them money, they threaten them, an promises to hurt them in some way, if they don’t get there money, some people can take a threat like that, every day bills, bills, bills, an no money, it a relief, not to go thru this any more, living inside means bills, WE ARE A BREED OF PEOPLE , AND Homelessness IS a state of mind, people with money feel sorry for some of us, also we feel sorry for them, WE ARE ALIVE, all or senses are working, after a few years on the streets, the system has taken all your senses from you, you people that live inside have lost your 6 sense an depend on the system. WE ARE NOT SUBHUMAN, if you adapt, to a situation, or a new life style, you can grow to be happy, (if you know the network of your environments, things are much easier. WHAT is the most danger for homeless people, elections, the politicians clean the streets for an election, an people that don’t like homeless people, Why Cant they stop eating out of garbage cans and just get a job, and get off the street? first of all to get a job, you have to have address, and references, and you have to be clean, you have to have bus fare or gas money, and 2 or 3 weeks of money to buy food to eat, and if you are hired , how are you going to eat, for 2 or 3 weeks until you get your first check, and were are you going to sleep, now most people say homeless people are lazy, this is very untrue, we want to work, , example , at my new job, all the employees , have been eating, 3 good meals a day, and have never missed a meal, and there bodies are full of life giving, nutrients, which they naturally, absorb in the body, all the vitamins they need, and are use to working , now im new on the job and I’m on time, (remember, for the last year i only eat one meal a day, -donated food, 2nd hand food, no nutrients, and i don’t eat at the same time either, and some times i don’t eat at all, my body is depleted of the life force to work hard, so my boss says go to work, and i work for 4 hours, until lunch, every one eats lunch except me, and I’m starving, and im getting week, very week, I need food real food(fuel) now i worked the whole day, 8 or 9 hours, as I leave the job, all the food lines are closed, gone, no more, I’m tired and week, and were am i going to sleep?? if i don’t have a car , and no bus fare, i have to find a place to sleep near the job, if i have a car i have to find a place to park, to go to sleep, now you know i don’t have gas. and i have to go to work in the morning because i want to better my self and get off the streets, so what do i do, what???? i have to find some fuel for 2 or 3 weeks , to build up my strength, and try to stay clean, and most of all i cant smell(stink) I have to net work the food places in the area of the job ,and go in the dumpsters, and look for fuel(inside people think this is the bottom of the pits, and you are the scum of the earth when they see you eating out of the garbage, and don’t want you around them, they just don’t understand i have to do this, im getting sick, and I’m hungry, and i have i job, and on the week ends when I’m off, i have to bum around because i have no money and no were to go, now i did the 2 weeks and i get paid, what can i do with $250 or $300 dollars, rent a hotel room i don’t think so it cost too much, buy gas for my car, ??? the first thing every one does that made this journey, is go to the store and buy a lot of ready cooked meals, and just sit down and eat as much as we can, now eating real good food can make you sick, because you are not use to it, and you might get the runs,(bowels), and when you go to sleep on a full stomach, we tend to over sleep and late for work, most who begin this journey don’t make it, they only work 2 or 3 days, and quit. then people ask why don’t you ask the boss for an advance in pay,, now days you cant get an advance, and if you tell your new boss you eat out of garbage cans, and you sleep in a car, or on the side walk, the boss will be scare you will steal something, and cant be trusted. this is why you have to keep your problems a secret .
